Afterword, Act I: Scene 5. Naming

T: We need a name

I have a name

Association of Dedicated Creative Artists

But I wonder

Could it be put in another way

S: It said on the card

“A meeting for the advancement of creative music.”

That sounded good

Association for the advancement of creative music

T: What initials would that give?

C: A is one

M is four

C is three

M and C make seven

Two A’s are one apiece

That makes Nine

T: We will be the A.A.C.M.

C: A Number Nine Organization

S: That’s as high as you can go

What are we calling it?

Creative Music?

Or Musicians?

C: We can all create music

Someone else can take it and use it

We’ve been advancing creative music

No one has been advancing us

ALL: To advance Creative Musicians!
